Somodio and Folayang were classmates at Baguio City National High School Rizal Annex, and the former has a theory on why “Landslide’s” kicks pack real power. which is why he kicks so hard. I think we were in our third year in high school in around 1998, 1999, because we graduated as part of batch 2000,” he said.
Folayang went on to win gold medals for the Philippines in wushu before sparking the country’s MMA revolution when he began headlining local promotions. Soon after, he went on to become a two-time ONE Lightweight World Champion. “At the time, I already gave up boxing and was working as a coach.
